History
This will the last tournament of the season at 2006 ages . This end of season Championship is the 4th annual So Cal. State Championship event for Triple Crown in San Diego on Labor Day weekend. San Diego was chosen for its mild weather and excellent facilities. This event hosted over 100 teams in 05 and is expected to sell out early this year with 120+ teams.
Triple Crown Baseball Divisions of Play: We have two different divisions of play. Our top competitive level is our D1 division, which you will see listed simply as 9u, 10u, 11u,12u,13u, and so on. This division includes "Select" teams and is open to any team that wants to compete at that level. Many of these teams are made up of the best players in a city or county. This is our most competitive division and, frankly, the one we hope most teams will choose to enter. Players get better when they are challenged by the top competition.
When you see Division 2 (or D2) after the age group, that indicates a bracket designed for teams that are not yet ready to compete with the top teams. Division 2 is similar to the second-tier divisions you see in national sanctioning organizations. However, even if you are sanctioned as a lower team by a national sanctioning body, that does not guarantee you will play Division 2 with Triple Crown. You need to call the tournament director for your Triple Crown event(s) so that person can help you find the best fit with us.
Division 2 is not designed to be a paved road to a Championship for weak teams - very good Baseball is played in Division 2. At the same time, we always err toward having teams "play up" in competition to make sure players are being challenged and having chances to improve their skills.
